No one's asking the real question: What will we call our new galaxy?

Milkdromeda? Androway?

My kid's birthday party will be on March 11th, so expect three feet of snow the night before. Apologies in advance.

My eyes have been opened.

So I opened this account early last year when I moved to the area, and I recall being transferred to another person to be asked questions about energy suppliers that I honestly didn't fully understand, since I've never had an electric company that asked me such a thing. So through my ignorance I ended up with this supplier somehow, completely oblivious to the fact that I could have just said no, fuck off, I'll stick with DLC.

I'll be calling DLC first thing Monday and ditching Nextera.

I mistakenly read this as Kesha, and thought that was awfully nice of her.

I appreciate the perspective. If it's okay with you I'll DM you later when I have time and explain my situation. Would like to know what you think my options are.

I was going to post a smartass comment, but then I read the story and OP is actually sweet and the best owner a dog could ask for, so my conscience said neigh.

Starship and SLS will be working together for the next landing, or so that's what I remember hearing.

I think what a lot of people miss is that while we think of organizations like NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, et al, as competitors, and compare them like we compare football teams, truth is they are all working cooperatively towards the same goals, and our efforts to push further out into space will be all the better for it.

Well, if I'm looking for a ray of sunshine, it sure as fuck isn't going to be in your direction.

Where is this "Pittsburg" of which you speak?

So I just found out that both of my deceased parents have unclaimed property here. Is there some way I can make a claim as an heir?

All that has to happen is for her to see Robert De Niro still celebrating and singing on Christmas morning, and her heart will grow three sizes and she'll give everything back.

And now I feel obligated to write a song called Mama's Squeezebox.

Tell you what - I'm gonna hold out to see who else replies for now. Truth be told I'm hoping someone will be able to look at it, tell me it's fixable, take it, and make it live again. That may or may not be realistic, but I wanna see first.

DM me if your roommate is interested, and if nothing else pans out I'll let you know. That ok?

You clearly have a superior sense of domestic aesthetic. Sadly, I can't see it as a practical option given the circumstances.

You ever decide you want to adopt an old disabled accordion, you know where to find me.

Good thought, but the problem is 1) finding a place to display a full-sized bronzed accordion in the house and 2) trying to convince my girlfriend not to leave me for displaying a full-sized bronzed accordion in the house.

In my opinion, you should, in fact, buy the half gallon and drink it all with zero self-control. Life is short OP! Binge egg nog!

That's like the equivalent of Perrier with a splash of E85.

The Great Oakland Everyday Traffic Jam

If you're willing to wait a few billion years, it really will be in your back yard!

Spiderdeer! Spiderdeer!

Does whatever a spiderdeer can!

He's candy-coated and might have a peanut in him.

Yup, you've got boxelders!

We just had the same issue at our house. They were all over the windows, doors...anyplace that was warm, and every time I opened the door a dozen of them would get in. I've been keeping a vacuum cleaner stationed by the door.

We had an exterminator come on Monday, he inspected the property and found a colony in the wall that lines our driveway - literally hundreds of them coming in and out. He sprayed the living shit out of it and intends to come back again this coming Monday, but once he sprayed they've all but disappeared.

I might recommend you take a walk around your property and see if there's a nearby colony.

Do you think there's anything wrong with lying about election results?

I don't oppose fair elections. I oppose lying about fair elections with the intent of making stupid people turn violent. And that's exactly what Trump is planning to do.

He will take bogus claims to court where they will get thrown out, just like 2020. He will then double down on the lies that the courts threw out, just like 2020. He will hold rallies and tell ridiculous lies like how boxes of ballots got dumped in a ditch or river. He will misrepresent video footage of ballot counters just doing their jobs. Just like 2020.

Donald Trump is a traitor and if you support him and his lies, so are you.

Brownsville looks so much better from the air.
